With the fall of the leaf comes the wolf wolf wolf	A
The old red wolf at my door	B
	-
And my hateful yellow dwarf with his hideous crooked laugh	C
Cries Wolf wolf wolf at my door	B
	-
With the still of the frost comes the wolf wolf wolf	A
The gaunt red wolf at my door	B
He's as tall as a Great Dane with his grizzly russet mane	D
And he haunts the silent woods at my door	B
	-
The scarlet maple leaves and the sweet ripe nuts	E
May strew the forest glade at my door	B
But my cringing cunning dwarf with his slavered kacking laugh	C
Cries Wolf wolf wolf at my door	B
	-
The violets may come the pale wind flowers blow	F
And tremble by the stream at my door	B
But my dwarf will never cease until his last release	G
From his Wolf wolf wolf at the door	B
	-
The long sweet April wind may woo the world from grief	H
And tell the old tales at my door	B
The rainbirds in the rain may plead their far refrain	D
In the glad young year at my door	B
	-
And in the quiet sun the silly partridge brood	I
In the red pine dust by my door	B
Yet my squinting runty dwarf with his lewd ungodly laugh	C
Cries Wolf wolf wolf at my door	B
	-
I'm his master and his slave with his Wolf wolf wolf	A
As he squats in the sun at my door	B
There morn and noon and night with his cuddled low delight	J
He watches for the wolf at my door	B
	-
The wind may parch his hide or freeze him to the bone	K
While the wolf walks far from the door	B
Still year on year he sits with his five unholy wits	L
And watches for the wolf at the door	B
	-
But the fall of the leaf and the starting of the bud	M
Are the seasons he loves by the door	B
Then his blood begins to rouse this Caliban I house	N
And it's Wolf wolf wolf at the door	B
	-
In the dread lone of the night I can hear him snuff the sill	O
Then it's Wolf wolf wolf at the door	B
His damned persistent bark like a husky's in the dark	P
His Wolf wolf wolf at the door	B
	-
I have tried to rid the house of the misbegotten spawn	Q
But he skulks like a shadow at my door	B
With the same uncanny glee as when he came to me	R
With his first cry of wolf at my door	B
	-
I curse him and he leers I kick him and he whines	S
But he never leaves the stone at my door	B
Peep of day or set of sun his croaking's never done	T
Of the Red Wolf of Despair at my door	B
	-
But when the night is old and the stars begin to fade	U
And silence walks the path by my door	B
Then is his dearest hour his most unbridled power	V
And low comes his Wolf at the door	B
	-
I turn me in my sleep between the night and day	W
While dreams throng the yard at my door	B
In my strong soul aware of a grewsome terror there	X
Soon to knock with command at my door	B
	-
Is it the hollow voice of the census taker Time	Y
In his old idle round from door to door	B
Or only the north wind when all the leaves are thinned	Z
Come at last with his moan to my door	B
	-
I cannot guess nor tell only it comes and comes	A2
As from a vaster world beyond my door	B
From centuries of eld the death of freedom knelled	Z
A host of mortal fears at my door	B
	-
Then I wake and joy and youth and fame and love and bliss	B2
And all the good that ever passed my door	B
Grow dim and faint and fade with the whole world unmade	Z
To perish as the summer at my door	B
	-
The crouching heart within me quails like a shuddering thing	C2
As I turn on my pillow to the door	B
Then in the chill white dawn when life is half withdrawn	D2
Comes the dream curdling Wolf at my door	B
	-
Only my yellow dwarf my servitor and lord	Z
I hear him lift the latch of my door	B
I see his wobbling chin and his unrepentant grin	E2
As he lets his oafship in at the door	B
	-
He is low and humped and foul and shambles like an ape	F2
And stealthily he barricades the door	B
Then lays his goblin head against my lonely bed	Z
With a Wolf wolf wolf at the door	B
	-
I loathe him but I feed him I'll tell you how it was	G2
Hear him now with his Wolf at the door	B
That I ever took him in he is he is my kin	E2
And kin to the wolf at the door	B
	-
I loathe him yet he lives as God lets Satan live	H2
I suffer him to slumber at my door	B
Till that long looked for time that splendid sudden prime	Y
When Spring shall go in scarlet by my door	B
	-
That day I will arise put my heel upon his throat	Z
And squirt his yellow blood upon the door	B
Then watch him dying there like a spider in his lair	X
With a Wolf wolf wolf at my door	B
	-
The great white morning sun shall walk the earth again	I2
And the children return to my door	B
I shall hear their merry laugh and forget my buried dwarf	J2
As a tale that is told at the door	B
	-
Far from the quiet woods the gaunt red wolf shall flee	R
As a cur that is stoned from the door	B
And God's great peace come back along the lonely track	K2
To fill the golden year at my door	B
